Monday 04-04-11

Ok, so this morning I woke up at my friend's house. She and her hubby are off on an adventure for the day.

Naturally, as a responsible friend I felt it only right to start the day with marshmallows.

I found some marshmallows in the cupboard. i located the toothpicks and said, "Hey, look what I found." Then I left them on the table. Within a few minutes I had some interested minds working at the table.

bridges, houses, extensions and pyramids were built

and then dismantled and eaten

I noticed the Rice Krispies in the cupboard and thought, "Hey, I know what to do! Let's make nests."

I had this brilliant idea to use plastic egg cups to help form the impressions in the nest. Folks, that doesn't work. Save yourself some time. Just use your hands and form them.

And then...a whole lot fo mayhem and foolishness was going on with some wild dancing, tag-like game

making new friends

many requests for food (didn't we just eat???)

I gave my little buddy some paint, strings and marbles. I set him up on the floor and said, "Have at it!" It was so amazing to watch him create. Here he is rolling marbles in paint. Move over Jackson Pollock

And as time went on, my little buddy expanded his art efforts and tied a string to the paintbrush and swung it back and forth to create new designs

We start cooking up part two to this morning's brilliant plan

My little buddy got into drawing in a big way. He made a street and then put the cars on the road. He glued them on it. I should probably let his mother know.
